 "Why" Commercial Energy Drinks are bad for you.

Research Finds Commercial Energy Drinks Have an Immediate Health Impact
he options for a quick caffeine boost keep pouring in.

The energy drink industry is projected to reach nearly $20 billion in sales this year thanks to its most popular customer: Teenagers.

But according to new research, that energy burst comes with a consequence: Potentially dangerous health problems, especially among teens and young adults.

That has experts concerned.

Dr. Mary Claire O'Brien is one of 18 researchers who recently petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to restrict caffeine in energy drinks because they could be dangerous for young adults.

"They are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine, in part because their body mass is lower and in part because majority of them are caffeine naive compared to adults," O'Brein explains.

A new study shows energy drinks have an immediate impact on heart rhythm and cause an increase blood pressure.

While most adults can tolerate this slight change in heart rate, teens' inexperience with caffeine makes their reaction stronger, with the potential to cause severe cardiac events especially among those with heart problems.

Many energy drinks are classified as dietary supplements, and therefore have no limit to the amount of caffeine they can contain -- unlike sodas.

"We don't think its safe based on the science, and we don't agree that the case has been made by the manufacturers that the levels are safe," O'Brein argues.

The American Beverage Association says research shows teens and young adults consume, on average, a third of the amount of caffeine as people over 21.

The FDA says evidence suggests it may be advisable for teens to limit their caffeine consumption. They are assembling a panel of experts to discuss the topic.

********************************************************************************************************

Recipe 

TFC  My Way, Strips,  Wings.

2- Breasts
1 cup -- Cornflakes.
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Teaspoon black pepper
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Teaspoon paprika
½  Nutmeg.
½ to 1  Teaspoon dry thyme
1/2 Teaspoon dry rosemary
1/2 to 1 Teaspoon dry basil

Wash;
2 cups flour
1-2  eggs
½ to 1  cup buttermilk.
½ cup  water


Ingredients, The BIG Boys

11 herbs and spices as follows:

4-5 pieces of whole chicken , 2 -  breast leg, or 1 kilo wings.

1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Teaspoon black pepper
1 Teaspoon onion powder
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Teaspoon paprika
1/2 Teaspoon dry thyme
1/2 Teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 Teaspoon dry rosemary
1/2 Teaspoon dry marjoram

1/2 Teaspoon dry basil

Wash;
2 cups flour
1-2  eggs
½ to 1  cup buttermilk.
½ cup  water

Go ahead and cut your chicken breasts into strips. Do not worry if they are not all the same size or thickness for I have never seen a chicken breast that can be cut perfect. 

Also do not forget to dry them very well because I want all the mixture to stick to the chicken. In this way the results will be better. 

This is where you make it or break it in taste, this is the point where you add more or less of your favourite things. So if you want it like the BIG BOYS then this is the time. 

Or add some other things that will make it taste more like your homeland, there are a never ending choices to this. 

Get everything in close in order to make things easier to reach and move around as fast as possible and  to make your life a little more easy. 

Remember that you are working with raw chicken so be careful not to touch any other thing around you except your working items. 

It's the Cornflakes of golden corn that will give you the crunch crunch, it will look like this was made for this recipe. 

Do not grind the cornflakes to much for we do not want a fine flour,  but a texture that will deliver a crunch to your strips. 

Try to let the chicken strips dry for at least 10 minutes on the rack after the first procedure. This will help bond the mixture to the chicken better for a better texture when frying. 

The temperature has to be hot enough to lock down the mixture to the strips without falling a part. Also,  if it's too low then it will  soak up too much oil into the batter and make it very soggy.

*********************************************************************************************************


Recipe

500 grams ( 1 lb.)  -  Mushrooms
1 -  Med onions.
1 -  Med to Lg. Tomato
1 -  Celery stack, (2 - if you do not use carrots.)
1 -- Green/red sw. pepper.
1 -- Lg. carrot (not for low GI)
2 -  Stock  (low sodium).
2 -  Tbsp  Olive oil.
2 -  Tbsp  Flour.
1 -  Tsp.  Paprika (optional)
1 to 2 -- Tbsp  Tomato paste.
1/3  Cup  Green onions.
1/3  Cup  Parsley.
Pepper to taste.

Optional
Basil
Oregano
Salt  to taste.

*********************************************************************************************************

Start of by using a pot that will hold the amount that you will need for at least  5 to six bowls. Remember that this soup also freezes very well and you can add them to portion size containers. 

Here by using the carrots it will bring this soup up to a medium GI but if you want a lower GI or if you are just starting out then omit  them. 

In its place you can add some extra sweet pepper and really any kind of veggie, but I would check the Gi on a GI scale for it's rating. 

Remember when you are adding some sort of stock to it, it must be the low-sodium type for after all this is a diet soup to lose the weight. 

Try this with different types of stock and see how the taste will differ for each one, a new soup everytime. 

Ahhhh  here comes the mushrooms. Here I am using the button type all with its other world name. I find this variety much easy to use and I like the delicate smooth taste of it.

Try this with other mushrooms of a blend of them and I know it will turn out just awesome.

Ceviche,  How it came about. 

Ceviche is believed to have originated in Peru or Ecuador. In fact, it was the Inca and Pre-Inca times.

They  had Cities  all over the two Continents connecting them with trails called the "Inca trails"  and had long distance runners that carried the news to each place. Now all they had for food was dried yucca in a leather pouch  for the runners stable food as they ran.

Now when they did stop for another other meal in the Jungles, they found plenty of fish in the rivers and streams and with all the natural citrus trees around, it was easy to put two and two together.

A simply citrus bath with the fish was a great replacement for an open cooking fire for after all  they had no time to waste,  to keep  up the running pace for some City was expecting some "news".

Hello, Everyone.....
